| swine encephalitis virus | A coronavirus, in the family Coronaviridae, that causes swine encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Ilheus encephalitis | An encephalitis caused by the Ilheus virus (genus Flavivirus) and endemic to eastern Brazil and other parts of South and Central America; transmitted by mosquitoes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| opossum encephalitis | Encephalitis of opossum caused by Chlamydia psittaci. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tick-borne encephalitis | 1. (Central European subtype) tick-borne meningoencephalitis caused by a flavivirus closely related to the virus causing the Far Eastern type; it is transmitted by Ixodes ricinus, also by infected raw milk, especially that of goats. Synonym: biundulant meningoencephalitis, Central European tick-borne fever, diphasic milk fever, Russian spring-summer encephalitis (Western subtype). 2. (Eastern subtype) tick-borne encephalitis, a severe form of encephalitis caused by a flavivirus, a virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family, and transmitted by ticks (Ixodes pertulcatus and I. Ricinus). Synonym: Russian tick-borne encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tick-borne encephalitis virus | An arbovirus of the genus Flavivirus that occurs in Central Europe and the USSR in two subtypes, causing two forms of encephalitis in humans: tick-borne encephalitis (Central European subtype) and tick-borne encephalitis (Eastern subtype); the vectors are ticks of the genus Ixodes. Synonym: Russian spring-summer encephalitis virus, tick-borne virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis | <pathology> Inflammation of the brain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| encephalitis, california | Mosquito-borne infection with california group of the bunyavirus genus. most california encephalitis is caused by the la crosse virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis, epidemic | A viral encephalitis caused by encephalitis viruses, all arboviruses. The severity of the encephalitis depends upon which virus strain causes the infection. The viruses are maintained by inapparent zoonoses in birds and lower vertebrates, and are transmitted to humans via arthropod vectors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis haemorrhagica | Encephalitis of apoplectoid character due to blood extravasation. Synonym: encephalitis haemorrhagica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis, japanese | A form of epidemic encephalitis occurring in japan and other pacific islands, china, manchuria, the former ussr, and probably much of the far east. It may occur as a symptomless, subclinical infection, or as an acute meningoencephalomyelitis with cortical damage and cord lesions resembling those of poliomyelitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis japonica | <pathology> An epidemic viral encephalitis that strikes populations in Japan and other East Asian countries, typically in summer months. Symptoms canresemble poliomyelitis, but the disease can also be virtually symptomless. (09 Oct 1997) |
| encephalitis lethargica | A unique encephalitis, presumably viral in origin, which followed the influenza pandemic of 1914-1918. Symptoms included ophthalmoplegia and marked somnolence, and in many survivors, the delayed development of Parkinson's disease; the basis for postencephalitic Parkinsonism. Synonym: encephalitis lethargica, polioencephalitis infectiva. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis neonatorum | Encephalitis of the newborn, described by R. Virchow as marked by the presence of fat-laden cells in the brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis periaxialis | Rare demyelinating disease characterised by massive destruction of the myelin in the cerebral hemispheres, cavity formation, and glial scarring. Clinical symptoms include bilateral spasticity, cortical blindness, and progressive dementia. Encephalitis periaxialis diffusa (= schilder's disease) should be reserved for instances of myelinoclastic diffuse sclerosis that correspond to the case described by schilder in 1912. Schilder's disease should not be confused with addison-schilder disease (= adrenoleukodystrophy). (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis periaxialis concentrica | Encephalitis that is clinically similar to adrenoleukodystrophy, but pathologically characterised by concentric globes or circles of demyelination of cerebral white matter separated by normal tissue. Synonym: Balo's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
